Late at night.
Zi Shi.
The thick darkness of the night enveloped the land. The entire Luoyang City was silent.
It was even more so in the Black Bamboo Manor outside the city. Because it was far from Luoyang City, there were still some people in the day, but it was quiet late at night.
Occasionally, Black Rock Killer's night patrol guards would pass by, but they were all very quiet and did not dare to make too much noise.
While the guards were patrolling, two figures sneaked into the villa.
These two people were Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang, who had changed into their night-traveling clothes.
The two of them used their lightness skills and came to the roof of a room in the villa. They gathered together and quietly discussed.
"Haitang, this villa is quite large, so it won't be easy to search. Our time is limited, so I think it's better to search separately.”Duan Tianya suggested.
Shangguan Haitang nodded and said,"I also have the same intention."”
"Alright then. Regardless of success or failure, we must leave the manor in four hours. Remember to be careful.”Duan Tianya warned.
"I know."
Then, the two of them split up. One went east, and the other went west.
Duan Tianya leaped a few times along the eaves and landed quietly in the back garden.
Duan Tianya's night-traveling clothes blended into the darkness, and it was almost impossible to recognize his figure when he was far away from the lanterns.
Just as he was about to pass through the garden and enter the back hall, he suddenly discovered that there seemed to be a figure sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion not far away.
Duan Tianya was shocked. He wanted to take a closer look, but the figure was dressed in a black robe, and he could not recognize his appearance.
However, Duan Tianya was certain that his whereabouts had been exposed.
Because the figure was waving at him and saying,"Which brother is visiting late at night? Why don't you accompany me for a game of hand talk?”
Upon hearing the name 'Chu,' Duan Tianya no longer had any doubts. He knew that the figure in the pavilion was the leader of Black Rock, Chu Xiao.
"He knew I was coming from the beginning? Or was he discovered when he entered the villa?”Thoughts kept surfacing in Duan Tianya's mind.
If it was the former, it meant that there were traitors and spies hidden in the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa. If it was the latter, it was even more terrifying. It meant that Chu Xiao's strength far exceeded their expectations.
Duan Tianya frowned and did not choose to leave.
Since he had already been discovered, he might as well meet him openly. He also wanted to see what the legendary Five Poisons Divine Lord looked like.
Duan Tianya walked into the pavilion and saw that Chu Xiao was the only one sitting by the stone table.
A chessboard and a teapot were placed on the stone table.
"Sit." Chu Xiao said.
Duan Tianya sat down opposite Chu Xiao and was about to speak when Chu Xiao continued,""It's rare for us to be fated. Why don't we drink a cup of tea first? If there's anything else, we'll talk after we're done tasting the tea.”
As he spoke, Chu Xiao picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Duan Tianya.
The fragrance of the tea filled the air and immediately filled the pavilion.
"Good tea." Duan Tianya sniffed and nodded in praise.
……
While Duan Tianya and Chu Xiao were drinking tea, Shangguan Haitang had already arrived at the meeting hall and was about to sneak into the Inner Residence.
"Hahahahaha!"
Suddenly, a strange laugh sounded from not far away.
Following that, an old man wearing a colorful opera robe walked over slowly and laughed nonstop." Where did this little girl come from? She didn't even greet us and barged into the Black Bamboo Manor. Does she really think Black Rock is a pushover?”
"Color Artist?" Shangguan Haitang had read up on everyone in Black Rock beforehand, so she could recognize the Rainbow Artist at a glance.
"Hehehe, little girl, you have good eyes. It's your Grandpa Lian.”The actress was not in a hurry to make a move and continued to provoke Shangguan Haitang with words.
He could tell that Shangguan Haitang was not weak and was an opponent that he could take seriously.
A look of disgust flashed across Shangguan Haitang's eyes. She was too lazy to say anything more to Cai Xi, so she circulated her qinggong and was about to leave.
Before entering, Shangguan Haitang had already made a plan. Once she encountered Black Rock's people, she would retreat without fighting them.
In any case, she was only here to test the waters. It was a matter of whether there were any dates or not. Even if she returned empty-handed, she could accept it.
However, Shangguan Haitang wanted to leave, but Cai Xi didn't plan to let her go.
In a flash, Cai Xi Shi quickly approached Shangguan Hai Tang. At the same time, she let out a strange laugh,""Little girl, where do you want to go? Can you stay and I'll perform magic for you?”
"Crazy old man!"
Shangguan Haitang did not manage to retreat successfully. She gritted her teeth and decided to beat back the Color Theatrical Master first.
She took out the folding fan hanging on her waist and opened it with a swoosh.
This fan was not an ornament, but Shangguan Haitang's weapon. The ribs and the surface of the fan were not made of ordinary materials, so they would not be easily damaged.
Shangguan Haitang waved her folding fan and hit the chest of the Cai Xi Master, trying to force him to retreat.
If it was the previously injured Cai Xi, she might have to dodge. But now that her injuries had recovered, her strength had increased by a level. She chased after the rain and directly rushed towards the folding fan.
Cai Xi pulled out her two blades, and the blades collided with each other, sending out a large number of sparks.
Then, a raging fire ignited and attached itself to the blade for a long time.
"What kind of trick is this!" Seeing this, Shangguan Haitang didn't dare to use her fan to attack. Even if the fan was made of special materials, it wasn't invulnerable to fire and water.
"Hehehe!" Cai Xi Shi let out a strange laugh, brandishing her two sabers as she approached Shangguan Hai Tang.
She waved her costume, and her twin sabers drew out trails of flames, making Shangguan Haitang unable to cope with them.
Then, he didn't check and was caught by the artist, who slashed his body a few times.
Although the wound was not deep and did not bleed much, it still made Shangguan Haitang extremely vigilant. She had already realized that she was not a match for Cai Xi.
If they continued to fight, there was a risk of being captured.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Haitang realized that she had to leave as soon as possible, so she fought while retreating, looking for a chance to escape.
However, the actress bit her hard and did not give Shangguan Haitang any chance to escape.
Shangguan Haitang had no choice but to slowly move towards Duan Tianya's direction, hoping to meet up with the latter. At that time, it would be a two-on-one battle. Whether they retreated or fought would be up to them.
The artist quickly noticed Shangguan Haitang's intentions. Not only did she not stop her, but she also cooperated and drove her away in the direction of the back garden.
A moment later.
The two of them arrived at the back garden.
The clanging of weapons immediately attracted Duan Tianya's attention.
Turning around, Duan Tianya saw Shangguan Haitang in a bitter battle. She was also injured and had been stabbed several times. How could Duan Tianya sit still? Anger surged in his heart.
"Bang!"
In the next moment, Duan Tianya flipped the chessboard and was about to rush over to help Shangguan Haitang.
But someone was faster than him.
Chu Xiao attacked first and struck out with his palm across the chessboard.
Boom!
Under the violent internal strength, the chessboard directly exploded. Then, the remaining force of his palm did not decrease as he heavily slapped Duan Tianya's chest.
Chu Xiao used the Five Poisons Divine Technique in this palm strike. The palm power contained a dense poisonous gas that was then injected into Duan Tianya's body.
Puff!
Duan Tianya suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. However, it was not bright red, but a black color that shocked the eyes. It also faintly emitted a stench.
However, Duan Tianya was also unyielding. After taking a hit from Chu Xiao's Five Poison Divine Palm, he held on and did not fall down. He flew to Shangguan Haitang's side and forced back Cai Xishi with another slash.
Then, he grabbed Shangguan Haitang and the two of them used their lightness skills to jump onto the roof.
"Trying to run?" Cai Xishi sneered and was about to chase after him.
But at this moment, Duan Tianya took out several black balls from his bosom and smashed them into the ground.
The black ball shattered, and a large amount of smoke spread out.
This move was very rare in the Chinese martial arts world. It was a ninjutsu that Duan Tianya had learned in Japan. It was very convenient for escaping.
The smoke came quickly and dispersed quickly.
In just a short while, Duan Tianya and Shangguan Haitang had already run hundreds of meters away. They were about to leave the villa and enter the vast mountains nearby.
"Gang Leader, I'll go get them!”Cai Xi Shi volunteered. Although it was one against two, both of them were injured, so he was confident.
However, Chu Xiao waved his hand and said,"There's no need to chase after them.”
" This..." Cai Xi Shi was somewhat puzzled.
" I'll help Cao Zhengchun solve the problem, but I don't have to offend the Guarding Dragon Mountain Villa," Chu Xiao said lightly." If you capture these two, will you kill them or lock them up?"”
The actress scratched her face, unable to speak.
Chu Xiao looked at Duan Tianya in the distance and said faintly,""Moreover, he was hit by my Five Poison Divine Palm, and the poison gas has already entered his body. Other than me, no one can cure him. He's already considered half a cripple, so there's nothing to worry about.”
